Not really. You can temorarily get it back working by minimizing and
switching back to the window you were using, sometimes you need to do it
more than once (and there are other methods). But AFAIK this is not
processort specific, and may be GTK2/KDE bug.

So, which binaries work ok then? Mozilla 1.0.x->1.2.x worked fine using
Mandrake builds, so I think it is a GTK2 issue (and you wouldn't see it
on GTK1.x builds).

My regular use is at least 2 windows open, usually > 25 tabs open total.
I probably have to do the minimize->ALT-SHIFT-TAB trick about once every
two hours or so of use.

Fred tried to reproduce it, but didn't succeed, and I don't think he'll
take kindly to running KDE and Mozilla for a week to find it ... he
complained as it was about having to run Mozilla instead of epiphany ;-).
